From the above array of names one can see both how rich a mine of literary wealth the Review really is, and how great is the service which Mr. Cushing has done in giving us a ready access to it. A canvass of the College will be made before long, and it is desirable that two hundred copies should be subscribed for among the students of the University. The book will be bound in cloth, and the maximum price will be two dollars and a half...
...building is now finished, many of the books have been moved to the new part, and already the Librarian is considering certain plans for the comfort and profit of students using the Library. It is proposed to enlarge the reading-room, to give students free access to more books, and to open the Library in the evening.

As each book costs the Library a dollar to catalogue, - according to a statement in the Boston Advertiser, which has never been denied, - it seems but fair that the persons for whom this expense...
...will be a success. Arrangements have been made, as already stated in our last issue, with the Union Railway Horse-Car Company to run cars through from Harvard Square to Beacon Park. The Brighton cars from Bowdoin Square also pass directly in front of the gates of the Park; access to the grounds is thus rendered very easy...
